Post# of 241143
Good morning all (forgot to include that in my first post) but its not morning for me its evening.

Ok, like i said im new to this so bare with me. If you have any guidance for me as far as anymore information i need to obtain, please let me know.

I've seen alot of talk about home depot, which is great. May I suggest another well known chain, known as LOWES. I'm sure just about everybody here has heard of lowes, but i havent heard the name mentioned yet so I thought i would put it out there. Right behind Home depot, lowes is #2 in the US. Now my question is, what can i do to get lowes interested in the product(s). Do these large companies take suggestions seriously that just come from your average joe? I have sent an email to lowes, but it was only to customer support and i doubt they will be of any help. I did ask them to direct me to who i needed to be talking to.



Please correct me if I am wrong but, after searching lowes website it is clear to me that they do not have any "green" type cleaning solutions that are similar to winning colours.



Also here is a little info about Lowes

Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse is a US-based chain of retail home improvement and appliance stores. Founded in 1946 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the chain now serves over 13 million customers a week in its over 1,400 stores (1,424) in 49 states and Canada. When the Vermont location opens in January 2008, Lowe's will have at least one store in every state and with the exception of Vermont and Wyoming, each of the other 48 states is home to multiple stores. (Wyoming is also home to a Lowe's distribution center). Beginning in 2007 Lowe's will start to operate in Canada with up to 10 stores opening up in Ontario. In 2009 Lowe's will start to operate in Mexico opening between 3 and 5 stores in Monterrey. Lowe's Companies, Inc. is 45 on the Fortune 500 list. The chain is now based in Mooresville, North Carolina, about 30 minutes north of uptown Charlotte. It is currently the second-largest hardware chain in the United States of America.

Lowe's Canada
Based in Toronto, Ontario, Lowe's Canada opened its first three stores on December 10, 2007, in Hamilton, Brampton and Brantford.

Lowe's Canada intends to have three more stores operating by February 1, 2007, in Toronto, East Gwillimbury and a second store in Brampton.

Each store represents an average investment of $20.5 million ($20.4 million USD).
